My son in law lost one of the ***** for the Fade Controls on his '03 WJ.
Does anyone here know where one might be obtained?

Same thing my neighbor said... but I prefer not the poor man's fix.
I have pain/motion issues from shoulder to hands since the accident.

Yeah, I rummaged around my stash but came up ****-less.

Going to check those out.

I'd prefer OEM. I do with many of my things.

Ah, I did not know that. Thanks much for the tip.

Yep, thought about that too. Even the alternate **** as Billy Ray
suggested. The handle is in one piece, but broke off right around the
stem. I went as far as to grab one from a junk yard, but they cut off
the cable at the hood end. Wanted to try swapping handles but could
not get the it off without breaking it.

Thanks for all the help!

Btw...
Seems the trouble wth the econoline van turned out to be the 8th plug
was not firing due to lack of current thru the wires. Replaced the
wires and engine purring, but then it would just die. Turns out after
the fuel pump was shorting. New pump and all tested well.

I'd check local junk yards for a burnout or something where the
radio was so damaged they will take a few bucks for it.
